Coming-of-Age Day!

Hi everyone! How was your winter vacation?

Did you went back to your home town?
Did you enjoy new years day?

I'll let you know about Japanese Comming-Of-Age-Day!

because I had this winter vacation!

Yes! I'm gonna be 20-year-old!
I think I miss teen age... but, I have some hope for becoming 20!

Official Comming-Of-Age Day is January's 2nd Sunday.
but, it depends on districts. because in country side, many people go out for university or working. and my hometown is in country side. so I had Comming-Of-Age day on January 4th.

Girls wear a Kimono. It called "Hare-gi, 晴れ着"

Boys wear a suit and tie or Hakama. most boys wear suit.

Blue one is Hakama. This is Japanese traditional boys wear.

My "Hare-gi" was my mother's older sister's one.

because of different from other one!

I'm lovin' it!

Coming-of-Age is like Sweet Sixteen in the U.S.

I think we have to realize we had responsible adults from this day.

We are not child anymore.

I wanna be strong and fabulous woman!
